“…26 Even in wealthier countries where many food and beverage options exist for average consumers, drinking milk has been shown to reduce the likelihood of fractures among young children exposed to everyday tumbles, sports, and other risks. Similarly, in a large study 27 of elderly patients, the study participants in the group who had higher milk consumption had a lower risk of fractures as well.…”

Dairy production provides high-quality, healthful nutrients to people on a planet soon to be inhabited by over 9 billion people. In doing so, it is ever more important to continuously improve the care of dairy animals, safeguard the environment we all share, and reliably produce nutritious food while maintaining the economic viability of the people working in dairy agriculture. In this paper, we review some associations between dairy consumption and human health along with the many interconnections between people, dairy animals, plants, and our shared environment. Understanding these relationships is an example of one health at work. In the US, total dairy consumption is at its highest point in the last 50 years, while many objective measures of cow health (eg, subclinical mastitis) have never been better since they have been recorded. Further, indications of food safety such as violative antibiotic residues in milk have never been lower. Dairy foods provide essential nutrients such as protein, vitamin B12, and calcium, while there is also evidence that they are protective against chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease. Finally, the environmental footprint of dairy production in the US, as measured by metrics such as carbon dioxide–equivalent emissions intensity per unit of dairy nutrient, is the lowest it has ever been. The companion Currents in One Health by Nguyen et al, AJVR, January 2023, discusses some additional animal welfare and environmental impact implications of modern dairy production management in detail.

“…The availability of PBMAs in UK supermarkets is also highlighted as a barrier to engagement (84) though degree of importance of convenience varies across consumer segments with flexitarians valuing convenience more than meat-avoiders (20,81,84) . Demographic factors may be important confounders here since meat-eaters and flexitarians are more likely found in households with children, thus value time-convenience more, compared to meat-avoiders (88,95,96) . Developing and marketing widely available PBMAs that are easy to cook and contextually appropriate substitutes to meat may accelerate adoption of plant-based dietary patterns.…”

Novel plant-based meat alternatives: future opportunities and health considerations

et al. 2023

Present food systems threaten population and environmental health. Evidence suggests reduced meat and increased plant-based food consumption would align with climate change and health promotion priorities. Accelerating this transition requires greater understanding of determinants of plant-based food choice. A thriving plant-based food industry has emerged to meet consumer demand and support dietary shift towards plant-based eating. ‘Traditional’ plant-based diets are low-energy density, nutrient dense, low in saturated fat and purportedly associated with health benefits. However, fast-paced contemporary lifestyles continue to fuel growing demand for meat-mimicking plant-based convenience foods which are typically ultra-processed. Processing can improve product safety and palatability and enable fortification and enrichment. However, deleterious health consequences have been associated with ultra-processing, though there is a paucity of equivocal evidence regarding the health value of novel plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs) and their capacity to replicate the nutritional profile of meat-equivalents. Thus, despite the health halo often associated with plant-based eating, there is a strong rationale to improve consumer literacy of PBMAs. Understanding the impact of extensive processing on health effects may help to justify the use of innovative methods designed to maintain health benefits associated with particular foods and ingredients. Furthering knowledge regarding the nutritional value of novel PBMAs will increase consumer awareness and thus support informed choice. Finally, knowledge of factors influencing engagement of target consumer subgroups with such products may facilitate production of desirable, healthier PBMAs. Such evidence-based food manufacturing practice has the potential to positively influence future individual and planetary health.

“…Sex-specific Cox proportional hazard regression [35][36][37] was used to construct a risk prediction model to predict the probability of developing CVD over a 9-year follow up. In order to maximize performance of the calibration and discrimination for the prediction models and to minimize the impact of extreme observations, natural log-transformation for all continuous covariates in the model was performed.…”

Commonly used prediction models have been primarily constructed without taking physical activity into account. Using the Kailuan physical activity cohorts from Asymptomatic Polyvascular Abnormalities in Community (APAC) study, we developed a 9‐year cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction equation. Participants in this study were included from APAC cohort, which included 5440 participants from the Kailuan cohort in China. Cox proportional hazard regression model was applied to construct sex‐specific risk prediction equations for the physical activity cohort (PA equation). Proposed equations were compared with the 10‐year risk prediction model, which is developed for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in Chinese cohorts (China‐PAR equation). C statistics of PA equations were 0.755 (95% confidence interval, 0.750–0.758) for men and 0.801 (95% confidence interval, 0.790–0.813) for women. The estimated area under the receiver operating characteristic curves in the validation set shows that the PA equations perform as good as the China‐PAR. From calibration among four categories of predicted risks, the predicted risk rates by PA equations were almost identical to the Kaplan–Meier observed rates. Therefore, our developed sex‐specific PA equations have effective performance for predicting CVD for physically active cohorts in the physical activity cohort in Kailuan.
